Leaving the "American bubble," where comfort and convenience serves as our basic values has awakened my senses. Having stepped out of my comfort zone for almost a year now, I realize that I had been in a deep sleep this whole time... or well, at least asleep on the job.
The new roles that I have gained here over the year has awakened my senses and forced me to think realistically and address everything directly with those around me. Because instead of having something to fall back on if you mess up because you're, say, on default mode, you fall flat on your face. There's no time to react let alone respond. Reaction time equals cleaning up after your mistakes and making sure that it never happens again.
It's a tough working world out here, though I have to admit that it keeps me out of boredom. Working here is as real as it gets, and sometimes, I wish I could go back to the slower pace, where I could from time to time daydream in drawing mode.
